Montecastello is ideally located for the mountains and the mediterranean. Visit the five towns known as Cinque Terre on the Liguria coast or the harbour and city of La Spezia. Sun and swim at Lerici with its sand beaches and small marina. This relaxed coastal resort once favourite of 'Shelly & Bryon' fondly referred to as 'The 'Gulf of Poets' hosts cafe's, bar's, ice-cream parlour's and restaurants.

Spring time is a profusion of flora and fauna while walking and trekking the forests and hilltops. The Lunigiana wine route winds its way through un-spolit medieval villages. You can enjoy the many traditional local dishes within the summer months of the many festivals abound with dance's each weekend.

For the ladies who love to shop, you will not be disappointed with the coastal town of Forte dei Marmi. Marble pavements escort you to THE designer boutiques amongst sultry palm trees and chic cafe' bar's. Gucci, Prada, Versace and Armani just to name the obvious.

Montecastello with its warm and comfortable interior is a magical venue for Christmas and New Year. Log fires after a day on the local ski slopes is a cosy treat. The local restaurant offers a 12 course dinner for a New Year's eve to be remembered.
